Little Kings Draftstravaganza!!!!!!
The moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived. After a 10+ year hiatus…. Thirsty Cincinnatians can finally get the legendary Little Kings on draft. That’s right, no longer will the masses have to be tethered to the tiny 7 ounce bottles that Little Kings normally come in. They will now be able to be contained to a tiny 8oz glass that Arnold’s will serve them in. You can always order a double if you would like a full pint. For the first few months, Christian Moerlein has chosen Arnold’s to be the exclusive place to get Little Kings on draft and we couldn’t be more honored. Arnold’s is celebrating the momentous occasion on Friday July 28th at 6pm and will be featuring 1.25 8oz drafts and 4.00 Boilermakers all night long. See you there!

On Thursday July 27th at 7pm Arnold’s Bar and Grill and 50 West have teamed up for Arnold’s first ever beer pairing dinner. If we waited this long to do one we figured why not do it right. Arnold’s and Fifty West are combining a 3 course Southern Chef’s tasting menu with 3 of Fifty West Brews and three of Cincinnati’s best Blues artists. Each beer and food tasting will be paired with 3 individual sets from John Reddell & Erin Coburn, Diamond Jim Dews and Ricky Nye. Between sets, beer experts from 50 West will take the stage to tell you all about the beer you are drinking and Arnold’s Chef Dave Marlow will explain what went into the food. To round out the beer dinner everyone in attendance gets to take home an unopened limited edition can of 50 West’s Tangel Fruit Stand IPA or Ocean City Gose with a free Golden Ticket attached to it. What is a Golden Ticket you ask? Very similar to Willy Wonka’s fabled Golden Ticket, it gains you free admission into 50 West’s Fiftyfest 2017 (A $15 value).

Arnold’s and Cappy’s have chosen to challenge each other to the Chomolungma Death. Ok Not really. They have really however challanged each other to see who can raise the most money for Lungevity, a lung cancer focused non-profit. Both Cappy’s and Arnold’s will be donating $1 for every pint of Chomlungma and it’s variants on Tuesday 5/23/17. It’s a challenge so there has to be a price to pay. Whoever loses the challenge will have to wear the others T-shirts for an entire weekend this summer. Be sure to come out to help whichever is your favorite establishment raise money for charity and save them from having to wear the others T-shirts all weekend.

Arnold’s will be donating 1 dollar to Lungevity Lung Cancer Research for every Chomolungma sold

Live Blues at Arnold’s from Diamond Jim Dews
Beers tap at 6. Music starts at 7

What is Chomalungma Day?
Chomolungma is not only one of Jackie O’s staple core beers, but it holds an endearing story behind it. About three weeks after Art Oestrike bought O’Hooley’s Pub in Athens, OH, Arts mother, Jackie Oestrike, was diagnosed with lung cancer. She passed six months later, but not before knowing that the bar would eventually be named in her honor, Jackie O’s Pub and Brewery. This brown ale was first brewed to commemorate the Lungevity Everest Expedition, a quest by Brian Oestrike, brother of Jackie O’s Owner Art Oestrike, to summit Mt. Everest in honor of their mother. Brian Oestrike summitted the unforgiving mountain on May 23nd, 2007. The people of Tibet call Mt. Everest “Chomolungma” (also translated to mean Goddess mother of the Earth) & this exceptional ale carries on the spirit of the climb, and the true meaning of family.
